Britain's competition regulator cleared a $44 billion merger between broadband company Virgin Media and Telefonica's (TEF.MC) UK mobile network O2 on Thursday, after a months-long review.

"After looking closely at the deal, we are reassured that competition amongst mobile communications providers will remain strong and it is therefore unlikely that the merger would lead to higher prices or lower quality services," Martin Coleman of the Competition and Markets Authority said.

"This is a watershed moment in the history of telecommunications in the UK as we are now cleared to bring real choice where it hasn't existed before, while investing in fibre and 5G that the UK needs to thrive," Liberty Global CEO Mike Fries and his Telefonica counterpart José Maria Alvarez-Pallete said in a joint statement following the CMA approval.
